In this monolog, Casey talks about a 2025 report highlighting the role of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine in sensitizing cancer patients to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

In this monolog, Vijay talks about a 2026 article that showed there is epigenetic memory in adult glial cells that allows them to regenerate but also paves the way for their malignant transformation.

In this monolog, Akshat (the returned prodigal) discusses the comparative immunology of jawless fish and jawed vertebrates and the fascinating ways in which the seemingly primeval immune system of the hagfish shows sophistication equal to the immunoglobulin superfamily-based adaptive immune response of humans and other jawed vertebrates.

In this monolog, Vijay talks about TimeVault, a novel technology that allows capturing and storing mRNA in mammalian cells.

In this monolog, Casey discusses a 2024 article about the increase in health and lifespan in mammals after IL-11 inhibition.

In this monolog, Vijay discusses the difference in immune system development in term and pre-term babies. Sources: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30142345/

In this monolog, Akshat ponders about the spatiotemporal underpinnings of cytokine concentrations in tissue niches...and how it all appears to function like a gossip network.

In this episode, Akshat outlines the salient features of CAR or TCR-engineered T cells, and deigns to ponder: is one modality just objectively better than the other?

In this Monolog, Casey discusses the unique case of a hyper-vaccinated individual in Germany with more than 200 COVID-19 vaccines and how his immunological profile looks like.

In this Monolog, Akshat discusses how the liver "speaks" both immunity and metabolism via bile to control hepatic tumors. Liver X Receptors also make an appearance.

In the 29th episode of our Immunology 101 series, Ash and Tanu start the new year 2024 with a discussion on Barrier Immunity with a focus on the gut.

In this monologue, Akshat talks about sterile inflammation, or leucocyte activation in the absence of inflammatory responses. These carefully regulated "internal affairs" of the immune system can be pathological or protective.

In this monolog, Casey talks about a 2023 article from the National Institute of Biological Sciences (Beijun, China) about the role of cytokines and immune cells in sleep deprivation-induced mortality.

In this monolog, Vijay talks about a 2016 article from Rockefeller University about the complex crosstalk in the gut between the neurons and macrophages.

In the 28th episode of our Immunology 101 series, Ash and Jatin talk continue discussion on cytotoxic T cells and transition into their functional cousins - the natural killer cells.

In the 27th episode of our Immunology 101 series, Ash and Jatin talk about how cytotoxic T cells deliver the kiss of death to their targets.

In the 26th episode of our Immunology 101 series, Ash and Jatin shift gears from humoral immunity to cellular immunity and discuss cytotoxic T cell activation.

In the 25th episode of our Immunology 101 series, Koshika and Jatin discuss Fc receptors and Antibody isotypes and relate them to specific effector functions.
